100% - although it is stunning to see since most LLMs get CORS questions right (which is surprising since they trained on all sorts of incorrect data).

Thanks for the answer. I use DB replicas (so all dns servers have a common backend), but only one accepts writes.

I still can not figure out any economical way to roll out anycast.

How do the geo distributed secondaries work? How do they sync?

Also, is there anycasting?

I like the design. (Might be a hot take)

No! - me after reading the title. I am unable to hire any more interns and junior devs. Simply because there is no way I can justify the time and money spent behind them. Money is not the issue - time taken to make them productive is not worth now.

So_reuseaddr naming is more accurate on Windows

ghoshbishakh — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 05:41:03 +0000

SO_REUSEADDR has a completely different meaning on Windows - which I did not know since I never tried it.

On Linux, SO_REUSEADDR just lets you rebind a port stuck in TIME_WAIT. It WON'T allow multiple active listeners on the same port.

On Windows, it is permissive. Multiple sockets CAN bind to the same address and port if they all set SO_REUSEADDR, which breaks exclusivity. Instead, we need to use the option SO_EXCLUSIVEADDRUSE.

More interestingly, on macOS , it sits in between. SO_REUSEADDR can allow multiple binds under certain conditions (ask an LLM or read the man page for more on that).

Same name. Different guarantees.

Countries like India have higher adoption (>70%) because of 4G/5G abundance. Legacy broadband providers hold back IPv6 usage.

Tell HN: AI coding is not for the impatient

ghoshbishakh — Wed, 11 Mar 2026 14:14:36 +0000

AI coding requires patience. Not because the models are slow, but because the workflow itself is iterative.

Many people say AI coding tools are overhyped because they don’t give perfect code in one prompt. But that expectation is wrong.

AI works better if you treat it like working with a very fast junior engineer. Give a small task. Look at the output. Fix the instruction. Repeat.

If you ask for a whole system in one prompt the result is usually messy. But if you break the work into smaller parts like functions or modules the results become much better.

The key skill is not prompt tricks. It is patience and breaking problems into small pieces and iterating.

New comment by ghoshbishakh in "Ask HN: Should I learn Docker to deploy my app in VPS?"

ghoshbishakh — Sat, 10 Jan 2026 19:37:16 +0000

Should you learn - yes. Do you really need it - probably not now, but eventually yes. I use it always to set up my dev environment so that the team can have a consistent environment to work on.

New comment by ghoshbishakh in "Ask HN: What was your best interview experience?"

ghoshbishakh — Sat, 10 Jan 2026 19:36:01 +0000

As a candidate. The interviewer started with "This interview is not about what you don't know. It is all about what you know.". The interviewer was Kirit from a company called Endurance International Group.

Ask HN: Is there any scope of building a non AI startup?

ghoshbishakh — Sat, 10 Jan 2026 19:33:45 +0000

I run a small dev tool company. I was looking to start my next project. But it seems like there is no point of building dev tools now since nothing apart from AI is getting any traction.

Should I just swallow my interests and do something related to AI? Or do you think a subscription management API can be a useful product?
